Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, two immortals, are often compared. Liu Shishi, with a swan neck, just didn't have the round head like Liu Yifei and lost a little weight.

Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei under the same model.
Usually, people with flat heads give people a sloppy and wooden image, while people with round heads often give people a dignified, clever and lovely feeling. Fairy sister Liu Yifei is a typical round head.
In fact, most of us have flat heads … why on earth? Explain it to everyone!
Why am I born with a flat head?
The appearance of flat head can be summarized as the following two reasons:
1, the day after tomorrow. Including the single sleeping position of the baby, uneven head pressure caused by crowded intrauterine environment, too narrow birth canal or using forceps during delivery, too long labor process, etc.
2. Congenital causes. Including congenital skull hypoplasia, congenital skull malformation and so on.
Among them, congenital flat head will lead to neurological development problems, affecting intellectual development and mobility. However, most of the flat heads are caused by acquired reasons, and most of them come from poor sleeping posture.
Flat head and round head
Why does my baby fall asleep and become a flat head?
This is because in infancy, the baby's bones have relatively high organic matter content, the skull is relatively soft, and there are gaps between the skull pieces, which have not been fully integrated. The fontanel (anterior fontanel and posterior fontanel) is a kind of soft connective tissue, which can provide a relaxed space for the brain, so the head and skull at this stage are highly plastic.
At this stage, sleeping posture will affect the shape of the skull. If you keep pressing in the same position for a long time and keep sleeping, the skull will be deformed. Since the Qing Dynasty, people in China have been sleeping on their backs to form a flat head.
How can I make my baby grow a round head?
1 Styling pillows are not recommended.
It is difficult for infants to keep their head and neck still when they sleep. Even if they use modeling pillows, their heads will not stay on them honestly, so there is no modeling effect. More importantly, using pillows and styling pillows will increase the risk of baby's head and face being buried, leading to suffocation and sudden death, so it is not recommended to use them.
2 encourage the baby to play on his stomach.
This is not only conducive to the natural recovery of head shape, but also helps the baby to exercise neck, back and arm strength and promote sports development.
3 change direction to sleep or feed.
If the baby always habitually sleeps in the same direction, you can change the direction of sleeping or nursing, such as changing the baby from the mother's left side to the right side.
Alternately choose 4 sleeping positions
Sleeping on your back often will make your baby's head flat and face round, so you should sleep in a variety of positions alternately.
After 6~8 months, after the baby learns to turn over independently, he can choose his favorite sleeping position. Mothers don't have to force it, because different sleeping positions have their own advantages.
5 Grasp the best adjustment period before 1 year.
After 1 year-old, the skulls basically fuse together, and the growth speed of the head slows down, and the correction effect will be reduced.
In infancy, if you find signs of a flat head, don't be too hasty. In most cases, a mild flat head will automatically improve with time. If the crew cut is too deep to return to the sky, we won't have the IQ and health worries of the crew cut.
